I've been struggling with puppet variable scope all day, well, for
several months actually.
I think I have pretty simple requirements. For any given node, I want
to be able to set a series of variables and include a set of classes,
based on three different aspects of a node, being physical locatio
I think you could do:
node 'node1.fr.xxx.com' {
include facility::sjc
$my_ldap_server = $facility::sjc::ldap_server
include ldap::client

other problems, a

variables defined in nodes are inherited from node to node. The
variables defined in classes that are included by the node must be
expressed using the variable's full context. I just ended up mapping
certain variables to other variabl
